President Trump abruptly yanks sanctions on North Korea because he 'likes' dictator Kim Jong Un
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump appeared to overrule his own Treasury Department on Friday and withdrew new sanctions aimed at North Korea because, the White House said, the president "likes" the reclusive country's leader, Kim Jong Un.
Treasury officials announced Thursday they were sanctioning two shipping companies based in China that have helped North Korea evade international sanctions. The U.S. has been increasingly pressuring Chinese firms doing businesses with Kim's regime.
Less than 24 hours after those sanctions were announced, Trump abruptly announced on Twitter that he had ordered the withdrawal of "additional sanctions."
"It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea," Trump posted on Twitter. "I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!"
“President Trump likes Chairman Kim and he doesn’t think these sanctions will be necessary,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump wins the next Nobel Peace Prize!!!!
Well, surely, somebody has to.
If so, he would deserve it about as much as Barak Obama did his. Which is to say not at all!
Look at that. He's just a good ol' boy.
Loves dictators and denigrates allies, the dead, etc., etc.,
And his Unthinking Faithful TM believe in Him!
